Bizzy Christmas

December 14, 2013

I finished my Christmas quilt with 3 weeks to spare… before it goes into a tub in the basement for another year!!!

This short season business is lame-o.

I backed it in a green and white polka dot flannel. As you can see I did a good ol’ stipple all over….it’s been awhile since I stippled a quilt and it was a nice relaxing change! Pattern is Bizzy Kid (made a bit scrappy) and fabric is a mix from my stash.

I might need to keep this one out a little longer…red, green, and aqua works for Valentines Day right?

I love it! And yes it can totally work for Valentine's Day. And it has green in it so I vote that you leave it out at least until St. Patrick's Day! When you back a quilt in flannel do you wash the flannel first? I'm thinking of backing one in flannel-Jo-Ann has a good deal on it right now! But I've heard that flannel shrinks at a different rate than plain ole cotton.

Love your quilt and your little one is so cute! So glad you share your creativity with us – it is soooo helpful to see what you are doing! Inspiring too. I like that this quilt is scrappy and a good way to mix up fabrics. Thank you and Happy Holidays!

Just curious! Love your style an use of color, have a Merry Christmas!san

Hi! I love your NEW quilt and the pattern! Buzzy Kid has been long time in my list and once I even started but somehow mixed my measurements and I didn't continue it much. I have to make this pattern! x Teje

You know that quilt deserves to see a bit more winter! How snuggly it looks! Here at my home, we spread the happy season of Christmas out past the holiday too. I love working on Christmas felt ornaments and sitting around (when I'm not at work) just spending time with my kids. As my kids are getting older (Beckett is 11 now) I have to try to find (sneaky) ways to spend time with each of them. ha! Still just lovin your blog, and your quilts. And your family…you are so blessed!

The quilt is lovely and all the perfect colors – yep, I'd keep it out until March 1, personally. And this little munchkin – well, she is growing into the most beautiful child. It has been a privilege to watch her come along – know she is "mama's girl" and so happy with quilts!

YES you can use this longer than the Christmas season…it's a winter quilt! Sweet fabric and cute pattern. I'm not usually a 'comment person' but wanted to say I enjoy your blog, your patterns and the inspiration you provide. Thank you and Merry Christmas!~susannevb

Your daughter is getting so big! She has grown into a toddler—no longer anything "baby" about her. And I think turquoise and red are perfect for Valentine's day. (Or any day, really—that has become my favorite color combination.)
